    L’oreal 2016 Edit: Review, LOTD, and News!

    DSCF2272

    Last week, I was able to witness the unveiling of L’oreal Paris’ chosen Filipina brand ambassadors. This is a milestone for the brand since it’s their first time to have Filipina brand ambassadors – Solenn Heussaff, Chesca Garcia-Kramer, and Dawn Zulueta-Lagdameo who represent the brand’s makeup, hair color, and skin care lines.

    OOTD & FOTD: Golden

    OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

    I haven’t posted an outfit and makeup post for the longest time! I’m taking a break from all my beauty related posts with a fashion post! Again, I don’t want to tag myself as a fashion blogger because I’m not but I like to share my personal once in a while. :)

    Here’s what I wore to this year’s Shindig Illusso. I love Shindig because it’s the only event of the year where I can really dress up. That, and I’ve been going every since I was in freshman year! I was really busy last week so I put together this outfit from F21 just a few days before the party.

    I love embellished pieces which is why I immediately grabbed this gorgeous pair of short and built my entire outfit around it. I accessorized with gold pieces to complete my look.

    My makeup for the night:

    I decided to go for a classic bronzy smokey eye with a “flawless” dewy face, and a wearable nude color for my lips. I took pictures after the event which explains why my outfit makeup could have looked a bit washed out already.

    LOTD AND FOTD: Cinderella Blue

    OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

    I haven’t posted an LOTD AND FOTD in the longest time! I decided to take some photos of my look from Josh’s Uncle Abot and Auntie Chryssta’s beautiful wedding which was just held last friday at White Space! It was a simple yet magical gathering to witness two people who have dedicated their lives to God renew their vows. The whole event was straight to the point yet meaningful! And omg the food was amazing. <3

    I wasn’t planning on having a dress custom made but when i found out that the attire was formal, I kind of panicked because I don’t have any long gowns in my closet. I contacted the first company I knew that makes custom made gowns: Haute Lifestyle. I’m a huge fan of their RTW items (Apartment 8) which is why I felt like I could trust their more upscale sister company, Haute Lifestyle. Josh (what a cute name for an equally charming girl) was assigned to design my dress. I asked her to design something that was simple yet kind of unique and of course it had to fit my budget of P6000. It also had to be PG-13 HAHA because I really wanted to make a nice impression on Josh’s family. :) She sketched something for me which I immediately loved but I had to stretch my budget a bit higher to P7500. Prior to my second fitting, I’d like to note that it wasn’t very easy to contact the only number they posted on their instagram account. On my second fitting, I was surprised to find that my gown was made out of pure jersey material and no boning at all. I was a bit shocked that it didn’t have the simple structure a gown would have for it’s price. It’s a good thing, my guardian angel Josh (the designer HA, not my boyfriend) was easy to talk to and she talked her boss into reconstructing my gown with boning for FREE! They were able to do everything in exactly a week which is impressive in my opinion. I do feel like I want to make some minor adjustments but the gown was lovely overall. Scroll down for more photos!

    Here are some of my photos:

    I took some makeup and outfit photos but lot of them were taken from my phone. I don’t take amazing pictures which is why I really don’t feel comfortable taking my olympus pen to events (I have a really low self esteem when it comes to taking pictures </3) AND I just don’t feel so comfortable making fashion blogger-y posts in public! :( These will have to do for now until I figure out a way to pose in public and figure out a way to consider the time I need when I take photos. I usually get ready so slowly and Josh ends up waiting for me to finish getting ready. In the end, I run out of time to take outfit photos. :(

    My extremely simple dresses needed some bling so I rushed to Ever New just a day before the wedding and picked this pretty necklace!

    my hair was done by Maui from Blo Rockwell

    yes, I was taking HAIR SELFIES. It wasn’t easy to take these. :))

    I did my own makeup!

    benefit hello flawless foundation, The Face Shop eyebrow pencil, shady lade eye palette from theBalm, Bahama Mama by theBalm for contouring, MAC extra dimension skinfinish for highlighting, IN2IT eyeliner, MAC angel for the lips, and demi lashes from the Face Shop

    I also bought my shoes last minute from So Fab!

    finally, with my prince. :)

    Next to me

    OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

    “Next to meeeeeeee ooooh-hooo.. Next to meeeeeeeeee oooh-hoo.” HAHAHA I couldn’t think of a title and this song (Next to Me by Emeli Sande) played while I was getting ready yesterday and it’s been stuck on my head ever since!

    I haven’t done an outfit-of-the-day post for a while now and I decided it was time for a new one! :) This is what I wore to my cousin’s first birthday party. :) I don’t think I’ll ever get used to posing in public so I decided to take these photos outside my room haha! I’d like to repeat that I am not a fashion blogger nor am I trying to be one. My blog is a lifestyle blog that focuses on beauty (my first love), some fashion (because I like to dress up), and food (my one true love)! <3

    I love that this dress from Apartment 8 came with a brown braided belt! My cousin’s party had a pink color scheme so I decided to go with another pastel color so as to avoid looking like I’m part of the decor haha. This outfit is kinda special because I had a “stylist” (josh) who helped me pick out my dress plus shoes!

    I almost wore my go-to nude pumps but josh wanted me to wear my salmon pumps which I think was a good idea because it added a pop of color to my look. I then paired everything with a teal and gold ring, gold earrings and my trusty gold casio watch.

    I love the print on the back. The “x” design of the straps are a plus too!

    Hair and Makeup

    I got my hair done at Blo Blow Dry Bar in Rockwell. I asked them to braid my hair just because I felt like it would match my dress!

    I chose a neutral smokey eye and applied my fave demi lashes from the face shop. I wore demi lashes to make the whole look very natural and not too dramatic. I paired it with a nude lip using my etude house lipstick. <3

    For a pop of color, I used a teal eyeshadow to line my eyes. I feel like it made the whole look very fresh and young!

    With my stylist for the day! I love that he always has something to say when it comes to my outfit and makeup looks but he lets me decide for myself in the end anyway. :D he’s the best!

    LOTD: Under the Sea

    OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

    It’e been a while since I last posted an outfit post! Today I’ll be posting the outfit that i wore to the biggest party in the Ateneo, Shindig: Submerged. I was very busy prior to Shindig so I shopped for my entire outfit on the day of the event itself! I took the theme of the party to heart and this is what I came up with:

    tube corset and skirt from Forever 21

    Shoes from Michael Antonio

    I SUPER LOVE THE DETAIL OF THIS SKIRT! I fell in love with it the moment I saw it! <3

    Clutch from Ever New

    I took “submerged” to a whole new level by incorporating different elements of the ocean into my outfit. My corset is made of sequins, My skirt reminds me of scallops, and my clutch looks like a shell! :)

    earrings from forever 21

    MY LOTD:

    Since my entire look was already shining shimmering and splendid, i went for my go-to neutral eye-makeup look and paired it with a nude lip. I only contoured my cheeks; I did not put on blusher anymore. I felt like adding a blusher would over-do my look.

    I really like how this last minute look turned out! :)

    Some photos I grabbed from the party:

    Cinderella Part 2

    _D4C1924

    Here is the second part of the photos from my debut taken by Migs Santiago. :)

    The theme for my debut was inspired by a Modern Marie Antoinette! My stylist suggested to place umbrellas in the ceiling instead of the usual lanterns to connect it to Marie Antoinette. My centerpieces were mostly pink flowers with accents of gold ornaments and pearls! I also had an all pink dessert buffet inspired my Marie antoinette’s love for sweets!

    The program for my debut was very short and fast paced!

    I entered with a dance number and then went out to change into my gown so I had to enter two times! I didn’t have the traditional 18 candles and just asked 10 of my closest girl friends to speak for me!

    For the usual 18 roses, I called my 18 roses segment “Dancing with Maxie” and i basically grouped my guy friends into categories and made them dance to all sorts of genres (mostly ballroom)! We danced the waltz, salsa, kpop, cha cha cha, lyrical, and more. :)

    Each boy who took part in my 18 roses segment was part of a video wherein each of them had to answer really unique questions about me! I also had a “Silly thing Max says” video where my guy friends tried to imitate the way I act and speak!

    I also included two games to spice things up and to get my HS and college friends acquainted!

    Daryl my bakla friend

    Le Polar bear on a diet, Biondi Te

    lol my friend Nathan trying to semi carry me!

    My super cute uncle who looks like Jollibee when dancing. :)

    I made sure my dad got to do the most lifts! hahaha!

    Blockmate love!

    This photos deserves a special place in this post because my fab friend Daryl forced Dean to buy a bow tie just because it was part of my dress code! HEHE

    Happy Halloween!

    545271_431147916946706_1976103165_n

    Hello everyone!

    I’m sorry, this post is a teeny bit late! Most of you are probably partying the night away as I write this! I just got back from Baguio for a family trip and I was basically under a rock there. ha ha!

    Anyway, this is actually my first time to actually dress up for halloween! I never knew it was such a big deal to people until i met my friends Kally, Krissy and Ericka! It was so much fun getting my costume made! Kally would pick Ericka and Me up to go to Kamuning every morning just to get our costumes made! I went as little red riding hood. hee hee. I wasn’t able to take a decent outfit photo with everyone so I’m grabbing Ericka’s!

    Ericka as wonderwoman, Kally as Alice, Me, Krissy as Little Mermaid and Tori as a fairy!

    Ericka being such a cutie, photobombing my photo! haha

    Ericka did my makeup because I wanted to get someone else to do my makeup for a change! Will try to recreate the look in another post. ;)

    Joe, Fred, Yela, and Me

    Joe goofing around! hehe

    I had so much fun in my first ever halloween party! We started getting ready at 5. I know, crazy right?! I left my red cape in the car. Ha ha. People thought I was a pirate. :( Oh well! I might recreate this look for a makeup tutorial and you might be able to see my COMPLETE costume. hahaha!

    This year is full of many “firsts” for me. :) What or who are you guys going as? oops. Who/what did you guys go as?? :) Tell me in the comment section below! :)

    LOTD: Hot Pink Kisses

    OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

    Hello everyone!

    I’m back with another OOTD and LOTD! :)

    Before I start, did you notice the new categories in my navigation bar? ;) I’ve added two new categories: LIFESTYLE and EVENTS! Under Lifestyle is food and travel while under events are my LOTDs. I’ve been contemplating on wether to make my blog a purely makeup blog or not. After much deliberating, I’ve decided to add these new sections to my blog to let you guys get to know me more! I felt like a purely makeup blog would seem too superficial to some therefore I have decided to share two more things that I love: food and travel! Aside from these two new categories, you can expect more random posts about me. Don’t worry! I promise to post positive things and to not bore you with any lovesick stories and the like! I’m not the type to talk about my feelings to the world when I’m sad anyway. :)

    Back to my post! I attended my gorgeous friend, Abi’s birthday last week which was held at Prive. Abi is one of the nicest girls I know! We met during a GA for a project for our org last year and according to her, “it was love at first sight” and I completely agree! We both love to pig out! The only difference between us is that she doesn’t gain weight. haha!



    With the lovely debutante Abi and her Bff Hanna

    With everydates (Juan, Anton, Jake, Kevin, Hidden Earl) and abi!

    I look retarded here but everyone looks so cute!! Abi, Earl, Kevin, Anton and Renson


    What I wore: 

    I know it’s the fall season right now and I should be wearing colors but I’m not a fashion blogger so I don’t feel obligated to follow the color trends! I wanted to wear something fun and girly because I’ve been wearing a lot of body-con dresses lately. The dress IS quite short but I think the color itself with neon accessories downplayed whatever the sexyn-ess the dress had. :)

    I forgot the brand name of the dress but I got it from on of the shops in ShoppesVille. :)

    Bag from Curated Manila, Casio DB360 Watch from Vintage Casio Watches, Neon Belt from Nava

    Shoes from Aldo

    Pearl Earring from Mom

    My favorite part of this dress: the surprise cutout at the back! :) Been loving surprise cutouts on dresses!! :)

    For My Makeup:

    I decided for to go for a neutral smokey eye to match with my hot pink lips. I wanted to kinda match my lips to the hot pink print on my dress and my clutch.

    The debut was right after finals so I wanted to brighten up my eyes by applying a shimmery white shadow along my inner tear ducts.

    Products used:

    Laura Mercier Face Primer || Benefit foundation || Etude house eye brow pencil || Shue Uemura Concealer || INGLOT Palette || Too Faced Natural Eye Palette for highlight shade || Mac Gentle Mineralize Blush || Shu Uemura Lipstick plus MAC Pink Nouveau || Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler || Majolica Majorca Mascara

    Teal and Pastel

    ring from F21 || belt from f21 || Casio watch

    I looove teal and pastel colors! My super fabulous fashion loving friend Daryl keeps on telling me that those colors are for summer and that I should dress according to this year’s fall palette. I told her that I dress like it’s summer or sumer all year. Teehee! I don’t really dress according to seasons because I usually just dress according to how I am feeling. I’m generally a very happy person so I always end up looking I’m dressed for the spring/summer season. :)

    Anyway my friend Trufferson Chungpeng from New Zealand Natural Ice Cream invited me to attend a cooking demo featuring New Zealand Natural  Ice cream which was held at the Cookery at the Fort.

    yummy ice cream cookies!

    couldn’t get enough of this! The cookie’s texture as a perfect match to the ice cream because it wasn’t crumbly and wasn’t too hard either.

    Ice Cream based gelatin with mango puree!

    Ice Cream Pie with a chocolate flavored crust. heavenly!

    Ice cream based scones. Cool right? I didn’t know that you can do so much with Ice cream!

    I forgot her name but she was the one who did all the demonstrations! It was super easy listening to her! I get bored easily but she made the whole demonstration fun and interactive! :)

    some of the ice cream flavors by New Zealand Natural Ice cream! They are cheaper when you buy them at the cookery. :)

    fellow bloggers, Sheena and Daryl!

    Daryl and Me. <3

    The cookery’s kitchen! super adorbs!

    I had so much fun at the cooking demo! It rekindled my love for baking and the ice cream based recipes made me feel like a kid again! That, and I got to bond and catch up with Daryl (http://3748miles.blogspot.com/) and got to meet Achie Sheena (http://sheenalovessunsets.tumblr.com/). <3

     

    Here’s my look and face of the Day:

    Blazer from HnM || Top from SM Department Store || shorts from F21 || clutch from Mango || flats from Bass

    OH. Check out my new hair. HAHA I would have raved about the salon if not for my predator stylist. Click here for my salon horro story.

    ring from F21 || belt from f21 || Casio watch

    FOTD (face of the day)

    I opted for a neutral eye look using my Too Faced Natural Eye Palette because the event I attended was held during day time! I also used an affordable eyebrow pencil from Ever Bilena, my Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation, Shu Uemura concealer, Mac mineralize blush in gentle, and Mac lipstick in chatterbox! For my lashes, I used my favorite Majolica Majorca Lash Expander mascara. <3
